Chapter 104 Junior Brother Li, you have done a great job this time!
Although the Paw Patrol easily captured the second-stage tiger soul, Li Xiuchang did not get too cocky and think he could challenge the third-stage ghost.
Therefore, he still honestly picked a second-stage ghost on the second floor.
Anyway, he had so many spiritual medicines planted next to the village, and he would definitely come here often in the future. Was he afraid that he would not have the opportunity to catch ghosts upstairs?
He wanted to try to see if he could fight against the second-stage ghost with his current mid-stage foundation building cultivation and the second-stage early stage body training.
To be safe, Li Xiuchang asked the Paw Patrol to help him. He picked a second-stage ape soul, and the Vajra Dharma appeared, opened the body protection treasure light, and rushed into the formation.
Bang bang bang...
Dong dong dong...
A chaotic sound came from the formation, and the fourteen Paw Patrol members stared at the battle between their master and the ape soul in the formation.
Facts have proved that relying solely on the physical training of the early second stage, even with the restraining effect of Buddhist techniques, it is impossible to defeat the ghost of the late second stage.
However, Li Xiuchang also wanted to hone his combat skills with the ape soul.
He has a strong physique of a physical cultivator, and has also practiced martial arts in Nanshan Martial Arts Hall for half a year. He has learned a lot of moves and routines, both software and hardware, but lacks combat experience to integrate the two.
Li Xiuchang tirelessly fought with the ape soul. The boxing moves he had learned were gradually integrated into his actual combat. Combined with the changing combat situation, he kept adjusting and gradually became his own combat instinct.
I don’t know how long it has been, Li Xiuchang felt that it was almost done. If he continued to fight, the improvement was not very obvious.
If you want to continue to improve, you either need to have an excellent teacher to guide you, or change to a more powerful opponent.
Facing this kind of evil ghost with only the instinct of killing, it is difficult to gain more experience.
Li Xiuchang no longer wastes time. The rainbow soul flag appears in his hand, and the red light on it is bright, amplifying the signature spell of the soul master "Soul Breaking Arrow".
At the same time, Li Xiuchang mobilized the powdered solid mana in his body and raised his hand to shoot a mana arrow.
Originally, this arrow should be red, but it may be because of Li Xiuchang's special mana that he shot a black arrow.
The arrow hit the ape soul, causing it to scream miserably. The soul body expanded and contracted violently, and finally exploded with a bang.
The soul body shattered into countless pieces, but this could only weaken the evil spirit, but could not completely destroy it.
Countless soul fragments quickly gathered.
Li Xiuchang shook the soul flag, and a strong wind suddenly rose, rolling up all the ghost fragments and collecting them into the soul flag.
…
"Why hasn't Brother Li come out yet?"
"With his strength, even if he subdued the late-stage first-level ghost, it should have ended long ago."
"He won't challenge the second-level ghost, right?"
The three demon cultivators saw that Li Xiuchang was slow to come out, and they were a little anxious, ready to go in and take a look.
The three of them carefully stepped into the first floor of the building. The three of them were in the middle stage of Qi training, and this floor was dangerous for them.
As soon as they came in, the three of them took a quick look and didn't see any trace of Li Xiuchang on the entire first floor.
The three of them looked at each other and felt a shudder in their hearts... Did Li Xiuchang really go up to the second floor?
It's over, don't let anything happen!
The three of them were about to climb the stairs to the second floor to take a look, and saw Li Xiuchang walking down from the second floor leisurely.
"Brother Li, are you okay? That's great!"
The three of them were relieved to see Li Xiuchang.
"Why did you go to the second floor?"
Li Xiuchang spread his hands: "Catching evil spirits."
"Going to the second floor to catch evil spirits?"
"Yeah."
"Then... did you catch it?"
"Of course."
"Hiss..."
The three demon cultivators' pupils trembled, and they found that although they had thought Li Xiuchang was very strong, they still underestimated his strength.
Is this the disciple of the Xianchen Sect?
Is this the strength of the Zhengdao Sect?
Just an outer disciple is so terrifying, how strong must the inner disciples be?
Li Xiuchang didn't know what the three of them were thinking, and he didn't deliberately show off his achievements.
It would be easy to find out which two ghosts were missing from the building. He couldn't hide it.
The three followed Li Xiuchang out of the building and walked to the village entrance.
"I'm going to take a look at the spiritual medicine in the medicine field. Do you three Taoist friends want to come with me?" Li Xiuchang saw that the three had been following him, so he had to ask.
The three woke up from their dreams.
"Okay, let's go and take a look together." The three said awkwardly.
Li Xiuchang was speechless. You three really want to follow?
"You three Taoist friends, please tell me what you want to say."
The three looked at each other. They really had something to do with Li Xiuchang, so they didn't leave after tasting the spiritual food cooked by Li Xiuchang, and waited until now.
The previously injured demon cultivator among the three, although now recovered from his injuries, still looked pale. His name was Wei Zhenyang, and he should be the smartest among the three. He said:
"Thanks to Brother Li's rescue, the three of us were able to survive the pursuit of the evil spirits. We have been thinking about how to repay Brother Li for saving our lives."
"You are welcome, fellow Taoists."
Senior Brother Mo has already helped you repay...
"That won't work. Although the three of us have shallow cultivation, we have always been grateful for repaying a favor. However, we can't come up with anything good. We only have a piece of information that should be of some use to you, Brother Li." Wei Zhenyang said.
"Information?" Li Xiuchang blinked, "What information?"
"We know the location of a Soul Demon Sect stronghold. Brother Li, your Xianchen Sect has always taken slaying demons and eliminating evil as its mission. You only need to report the location of the stronghold to the sect, and you should be rewarded."
The stronghold of the remnants of the Soul Demon Sect?
Wei Zhenyang was right. If the information was true, he only needed to report it to the sect, and he would be rewarded according to the specific value of the information.
Although this would not be as profitable as destroying the stronghold by himself, there was no risk.
It can be said that it is a sure win.
Even if the information is false, there is no loss.
However, the New Demon Sect and the Soul Demon Sect are old enemies, and Wei Zhenyang's move may not be without the intention of borrowing a knife to kill.
Borrowing the Xianchen Sect's hand to attack the Soul Demon Sect.
But the Xianchen Sect is also happy to be this thug.
To eliminate demons and defend the way, we can't just rely on the demon cultivators themselves, the righteous way has to do its part occasionally!
It was really hard for Li Xiuchang to refuse such a thank-you gift. In the end, he got an address from Wei Zhenyang and remembered it firmly.
…
Time flies, and half a month has passed since Li Xiuchang came to this village.
Senior Brother Motu also came back on time as promised.
It was time to leave.
Li Xiuchang waved goodbye to the "villagers".
The villagers were reluctant to leave. During the time Li Xiuchang was here, their food improved a lot, and several children in the village gained weight.
They really didn't want Li Xiuchang to leave.
"I will come back to see you soon." Li Xiuchang glanced at the tallest building in the village.
The toothless old man, who was also the village chief of this village, reminded him: "Bring some good wine next time."
"Okay, I remember."
Li Xiuchang got on the carriage and left the village with Senior Brother Motu, embarking on the road back to Xianchen Sect.
On the way, Li Xiuchang played Gobang with Senior Brother Motu again to pass the time.
Li Xiuchang took the initiative to talk about the demon cultivator base.
He knew that Senior Brother Motu had probably known the news long ago, and the three demon cultivators must have told Senior Brother Motu before telling him the information.
But he still asked to see what Senior Brother Motu had to say.
Senior Brother Motu showed no interest in this, and said indifferently: "You can report it to the sect, and the sect will send someone to verify the authenticity of the information."
"Okay." Li Xiuchang knew what was going on and focused on the chess game in front of him.
After a while, Senior Brother Motu's voice rang out in the carriage: "Xiuchang, do you know how to temporarily combine the same kind of ghosts under your command into one to improve their combat effectiveness?"
Li Xiuchang: "Please teach me, Senior Brother."
...
As soon as Li Xiuchang returned to the sect, he was told that the sect had added a new sect rule.
"Food with peculiar smells shall not be cooked or eaten in public areas. When cooking food with peculiar smells in private areas, the smell shall not be allowed to leak out. Violators will be fined three spirit stones and ordered to remove the peculiar smell!"
This is a sect rule specially added for the spiritual dish of snail noodles.
As the snail noodle spiritual dish became completely popular among the female cultivators, and a large number of first-level talisman masters entered the industry to sell noodles, the snail noodle spiritual dish became more and more popular.
As a result, the residential areas of the 40 outer disciples and the sect square and other places were filled with the peculiar smell of snail noodles.
This made those who hated snail noodles unacceptable, and they would vomit wherever they went.
They finally couldn't help but complain to the sect and asked the sect to "ban noodles".
Of course, the sect couldn't directly ban the cooking and sale of snail noodles. After discussion, they finally added such a sect rule.
Li Xiuchang is also the only person in the past thousand years who asked the sect to change the sect rules for him.
The last time this happened was more than a thousand years ago, when a disciple drove a flying boat drunk and crashed the roof of the general affairs hall.
Since then, the sect has added a sect rule that it is not allowed to fly within the sect after drinking.
After returning, Li Xiuchang did not rest, but went straight to the general affairs hall to find Brother Yan Song and said that he had important information to report.
"What's the matter?" Senior Brother Yan Song asked in a deep voice.
"I got the news that a Soul Demon Dao demon cultivator's base was found."
"Where did the news come from?" Senior Brother Yan Song's face became serious.
"The three new demon cultivators of the Soul Demon Dao that I rescued before told me the information to thank me."
"Are you still in contact with them?"
"I just happened to meet them during this trip... or maybe they deliberately found me."
Senior Brother Yan Song nodded: "I will report the news to the sect. After confirming the authenticity of the information, I will reward you with contribution points depending on the specific situation. I will notify you when I have news."
"Sorry for the trouble, senior brother."
Li Xiuchang returned to his residence and began to concentrate on preparing for the competition. There were only more than five months left before the Chef Star Championship. Whether he could get a good ranking depended on the sprint in these five months.
In addition to taking care of the medicine field and the ghost, he spent the rest of his time practicing cooking.
More than a month passed in a blink of an eye, and he suddenly received a message from Senior Sister Yan Xue:
"Junior Brother Li, you have made a great contribution this time!"
